Hi!I hope you're having a great weekend!I'm back with a new layout created for Paper Issues' Scraplift Sunday. Today, we're lifting the page I made for the April Pawsitively Pets challenge. I played along using the Little by Little collection by Shimelle and American Crafts as well as a photo of my little one in her dad's arms in Verona a couple of weeks ago.

I placed the papers, the embellishments and the photo at the top of the page, just like on my first layout. I layered the pic on a doily and a pennant that I cut out from a 6x6 paper and added pretty Little by Little embellies: fussy cut flowers, die cuts, stickers and wood buttons.

Hello!I hope you are doing great and that you're enjoying your weekend!I'm back with a new page inspired by Paper Issues' Scraplift Sunday. This week, we're lifting a pretty layout by Annelie Maddock. For my take, I used the Oh My Heart line by Paige Evans and Pink Paislee along with a photo of the girls having an ice cream in Verona last week. We're just back from a beautiful trip to Italy and you'll probably see a lot of pics snapped over there on my upcoming layouts!

I cut out a triangle and a strip from a Oh My Heart patterned paper and placed them on a white cardstock sheet just like on Annelie's page. I then layered the pic and more patterned papers from the 6x6 pad on the triangle and added some embellies: die cuts, a chipboard heart, a doily and Feed Your Craft mini flair.

I placed a fussy cut banner at the top of the page, along with pennants that I cut out from a 6x6 paper. I finished off my layout by adding the journaling and thickers for the title on the left-hand side of the page.

I cut out frames from Lovely Day 6x6 papers and placed them, along with the cut-out squares, like diamonds on a white cardstock sheet. I backed the pic with patterned paper and a doily and adhered it in the center of the page with foam squares. I added a Lovely Day pennant on the photo for the title and embellies on the diamonds: die cuts, chipboard pieces, puffy stickers and a button from the collection. I finished off my page with droplets of pink ink.

For the background, I used white corrugated paper. I love the texture it gives to the page! I went with a large photo this time. I backed it with the Loot Bag paper and adhered it to the background with foam squares.

I then got busy making a banner under the pic with die cuts from the ephemera pack and pennants that I cut out from the Party Mix and Daydream papers. I adorned my banner with cute buttons and shiny sequins from the bits & pieces pack.

I made little clusters at the top and at the bottom of the page using a doily that I cut in half and a pretty flower from the bits & pieces pack, paper pieces from the die cut ephemera pack, one of the lovely flair buttons and a journaling strip with the date.

For the title, I used a wood veneer word that I placed on the photo and adorned with a pretty butterfly from the ephemera pack, a button and sequins from the bits & pieces pack. To give dimension to my page, I folded the paper pieces gently and I used foam squares.

My favorite technique to create the base for my cards is to fold a 6x6 paper in half. Here, I used black and white papers from the Sweet Nothings paper pad to be able to go with bright colors on the top of the cards. I then layered pretty papers from the February swag bag on the top of each card. I also cut out tags from other papers from the February bag and placed them on top of my layers, along with doilies from my stash.

For the sentiment, I used die cuts from the Sweet Nothings ephemera pack and adhered them with foam squares to make them pop. I then got busy embellishing and added cute donut stickers, puffy hearts and pretty paper clips from the February swag bag, a glittery heart sticker and sequins from the November bag, more die cuts from the Sweet Nothings ephemera pack and twine from my stash.

I love making cards and sending them to my family and loved ones! I hope these inspire you to make your own cards and play with the pretty Paper Issues swag bags! The Sweet Nothings collection is also perfect for card making with its mail-related icons and sentiments. You can find it in the Paper Issues store, along with the new Family & Co line by Fancy Pants, and get 20% off your order with the code Elodie. And I hope you can join us in the Paper Issues Facebook group to play along with the April Roll The Dice challenge!

Hi!I hope you're enjoying your weekend!There's a brand new Working Title challenge on the Paper Issues blog today! This month, Amanda Baldwin asks us to create a project with a title featuring florals to celebrate Spring. For my layout, I used the Little by Little line by Shimelle & American Crafts, Fancy Pants alpha stickers for a part of the title and a sweet photo of my happy little one snapped last Fall.

I started by layering black and white tissue paper, a doily and colorful papers from the Little by Little 6x6 pad in the center of the background paper. I love how the background echoes my girl's coat on the pic! I then adhered the photo on top of my layers using foam squares to make it pop and added a Little by Little die cut and Fancy Pants Millie & June alpha stickers for the title.

I then got busy completing my photo cluster with pretty embellies: stars thickers, a fussy cut flower, stickers and wood buttons from the Little by Little line, a Bella Boulevard pom pom paper clip and a tag from my stash. I added a paper strip, pennants and puffy stickers from the collection and my layout was complete!

Hi there!I hope you're having a great week!The April Pawsitively Pets is up today on the Paper Issues blog! This month, Melissa Smith asks us to create a pet project with supplies from at least three different manufacturers. For my page, I mixed goodies by Simple Stories, Crate Paper, American Crafts, Fancy Pants and Pink Paislee and I used a photo of my little one and our dog wandering in the garden last summer.

I started by placing a paper strip from the Saturday line by Dear Lizzy & American Crafts at the top of a white cardstock sheet. I added a fussy cut banner from the Oh My Heart collection by Paige Evans & Pink Paislee and made layers with the pic and Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams 6x6 papers.

To go with my summery pics, I went with bright and warm colors for the background. I cut out strips from the Fussy Cuts paper, with its pretty coral stripes, and I placed them on each side of a white cardstock sheet.

I adhered the photos at the top of the page with foam squares to make them pop and then got busy embellishing. I fussy cut flowers from the Luscious paper and arranged them under the pics. I can't get enough of these Wild at Heart flowers! So beautiful!
